Una assemblea és un grup format per membres d'una organització que es reuneixen periòdicament per prendre decisions sobre un àmbit o àrea específica de la mateixa.
Les assemblees realitzen trobades, algunes són privades i altres són obertes. Si són obertes s’hi pot participar (per exemple: assistint si l'aforament ho permet, afegint punts a l'ordre del dia, o comentant les propostes i decisions preses per aquest òrgan).
Exemples: Una assemblea general (que es reuneix un cop l'any per definir les línies principals d'acció de l'organització així com als seus òrgans executius per votació), una consell assessor d'igualtat (que es reuneix cada dos mesos per fer propostes de com millorar les relacions de gènere en l'organització), una comissió d'avaluació (que es reuneix cada mes per fer el seguiment d'un procés) o una òrgan de garanties (que recull les incidències, abusos o propostes de millora dels procediments de presa de decisions) són tot exemples d'assemblees.
